If you’re wondering how much a Eurocamp holiday in Tuscany costs in peak summer, especially for a family of four, here’s our honest breakdown from flights to food to day trips.
I always say travel doesn’t have to break the bank, but it’s good to know what you’re working with before you book. Tuscany was one of those dream destinations that sounded expensive until we actually did it.
Honestly? It turned out to be way more affordable than most people think.
If you’re wondering how much a Eurocamp holiday in Tuscany costs in peak summer.. especially for a family of four. Here’s exactly what it cost our family of four. From ferries to gelato plus a few things I’d do the same (and differently) next time.
🏕️ Accommodation – Eurocamp in Tuscany.
We stayed at Park Albatros, booked directly through Eurocamp. One of the most popular Eurocamp Tuscany sites, it had everything we wanted, multiple pools, beautiful green surroundings, and the kind of easy, relaxed atmosphere that makes you forget what day it is.
We booked a three-bed mobile home.
Like I mentioned in Part 5, it was tiny.. so much so we nicknamed it the shoe box. But it came with all the typical essentials and appliances, much-needed air con, and our own decking, which made evenings feel proper holiday-ish. BBQs, wine, and endless card games outside.
💸 Cost: around £900 for 7 nights (including linen hire). For what we got, it honestly felt like luxury for the price.
🕓 Booking tip: we booked early for August, which helped lock in a decent rate.
As we had already booked via Eurocamp a previous year, we also had a small percentage knocked off — from my memory, around 10% off.
They also hold about a £40 deposit in case anything goes missing from the mobile home or you leave it in a mess. If you lock everything and, of course, leave it in a clean state before you go.. including stripping the beds and leaving them in a corner for collection…they’ll check and give you your deposit back, cash in hand. So, no money lost.
Of course, if you can’t be bothered with the faff, you can just surrender your money and let staff clean the caravan.
But we’ve never done that. It doesn’t take long to clean the caravan and, to be honest, every penny counts when you’ve already got your next trip planned in your head 😉
Additional tip: remember to hand over those keys before you leave too.
🚗 Getting There – Flights, Car Hire & Transfers
For our Tuscany family holiday, we flew from Stansted to Pisa, then picked up a hire car to make the drive down to our campsite. Flights were straightforward, short, affordable, and still the easiest way to reach that part of Tuscany.
💸 Rough breakdown:
✈️ Flights (return for 4): ~£600
🚗 Car hire from Europcar (7 nights): ~£250 — note: Europcar give you a car with a full tank. Honestly, this pretty much lasted the entire trip, but you do have to refill on return.
⛽ Petrol + tolls (and that sneaky parking ticket we got): ~£80
If you’re planning to explore (and you absolutely should), a car is essential.
Tuscany is full of countryside and not easy to navigate by foot or public transport. So the freedom to visit nearby towns.. or do DIY an Elba Island.. is worth every penny.
🍝 Food & Drink
One of the best parts about Eurocamp holidays is being able to mix eating out with proper home-cooked meals. We did supermarket runs every few days for breakfast bits, BBQ stuff, and snacks, then treated ourselves to meals out whenever we fancied it.
💸 Rough spend:
🛒 Groceries & BBQs: ~£150 🍷 Eating out: ~£400
We probably spent around £550 total on food and drink — which, considering the amount of gelato involved 🤣, isn’t bad at all.
🌅 Excursions & Day Trips
Our biggest day trip was the one to Elba Island. Around £300 for all four of us, booked through the campsite’s information centre. That included everything: transfers, ferry, and a guided tour. Worth. Every. Penny.
We also spent a day in Pisa, which was about an hour and a half’s drive from our campsite. It’s one of those places you just have to see once, but not a necessity (imo) to do again — the Leaning Tower, the atmosphere, the photos you can’t not take.
However, we didn’t really spend any extra money in Pisa other than the petrol and food we’ve already calculated above — so let’s call this one free 😉
💸 Total for excursions: around £300
🏖️ Extras
You know the ones.. ice creams, parking, souvenirs, random supermarket runs for “just one more bottle of wine.” 😅
💸 Extras total: ~£150

💬 All in all, around £2,850 for a 7-night Italian holiday for four people in peak summer, which, when you think about it, is roughly what you’d spend for a UK caravan holiday with less sun, more rain and let’s be honest, walking out your caravan and having a view of “spa” instead of a magical Tuscan forest 🌳
💡 Money-Saving Tips for Tuscany
💡 Book early. Prices climb fast in summer, so the earlier you lock it in, the better.
💡 Buy yourself a few cleaning essentials and clean your caravan before leaving — save yourself a bit of money for your next trip lol.
💡 The more you book with Eurocamp, the cheaper it’ll be next time with the bonus of loyalty savings.
💡 Cook most meals at the campsite. Food shops are great value, and the produce is unreal.
💡 Use your car smartly. Group day trips in the same direction to save on petrol and tolls.
💡 Bring refillable bottles. The heat is real — and water stations are easy to find.
💡 Don’t skip the “small” towns. Some of our favourite meals were in places we stumbled across while driving.
❤️ Was It Worth It?
Every single penny.
Tuscany was everything! Slow mornings, laughter, frantic runs in the rain 🤣late-night BBQs, and an hidden gem island we fell in love with 💕.
It was family time at its best, and the fact it didn’t break the bank made it even sweeter.
If you’ve ever dreamed of doing Italy but thought it was out of reach.. it’s not. You just need the right setup.
Eurocamp Tuscany made it doable, and Tuscany made it unforgettable.
✈️ Next up: Our journey through Europe doesn’t stop here. Next, we’re heading south to the French Riviera, where the views are golden, the wine is cold, and the caravan park had us questioning why we’d ever book a hotel again.
